How to freeze quince
Quince is an interesting, fragrant fruit. Outwardly, quince looks like a pear or a yellow apple with an excellent pronounced aroma. But you can hardly bite a quince so easily. The fruit is stone-hard, and the flesh is granular and pale. But it is worth preparing quince correctly, as it will turn into a real delicacy. To some, the smell of properly cooked quince resembles the smell of pineapple, to others, the scent of roses.
If you replace some apples or pears with quince slices in baking, then the pie, charlotte, casserole, roll or crumble will acquire a special taste and aroma. Prepared quince can be added to meat, used in salads. It makes excellent jam, jelly and membrillo pasta, known throughout the world as “quince cheese”.
In most cases, quince is frozen after being prepared. Depending on how you are going to use the frozen quince later, prepare it in the form of chips, slices in sugar syrup or mashed potatoes.
